"Dr Ian Stevenson researches cases of young children who apparently recall past lives - based on their accounts, he has actually been able to track down still-living families and people who knew the child in his past life. Often the child will have a prominent birthmark which corresponds to how he died in his earlier life - eg a chest wound in one life will result in a prominent birthmark in the exact spot in his next life."

It's too bad that research like this doesn't get any press, but then I suppose it's because it challenges the belief that you only get one shot here on Earth.
If you believe in souls, then is it that hard to believe that it can inhabit several bodies? Additionally, who's to say when a soul chooses to inhabit a body? The abortion debate has always fascinated me since if you believe in souls, what says that the soul must inhabit the body at conception? Why not wait till the first breath? (of course, there's that pro-reincarnation quote from the Bible about God knowing you before you were born....)
